Hi Suzanne,
I received this today from OFHS. Some of these sources are new to me and have sent it just in case there are some you might not have seen before:

Just to let you know that, from tomorrow, Friday, 25 August to the end of Monday, 28 August, ie across the English & Welsh bank holiday weekend, Ancestry.co.uk is giving free access to its UK and Ireland records.  This includes censuses and the GRO indexes ... as well as the scanned Oxfordshire parish records which OFHS has licensed to Ancestry.

The Oxfordshire parish register databases are:
Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812
Births and Baptisms, 1813-1915
Marriages and Banns, 1754-1930
Deaths and Burials, 1813-1965

There are other Oxfordshire-specific resources, such as:
Giles' A History of Bampton
Beesley's A History of Banbury
Burn's A History of Henley
Giles' A History of Witney

and
Oxford University Alumni, 1500-1886

(You can use the categories tab to home in on a database.)

Hi Suzanne,
Tricky is the right word!

Regarding the information on William from Daubney, the copy of the family bible I have has the same birth date - is it possible both are sourced from the same document?

We might have a source difference in the 1851 census regarding Ann Q as my source (Find my Past) shows her as still married, so the elusive William is still around?

I have not been able to do much of a review of the information in the kitwithers link you provided, thank you, but here is the information from the copy of the family bible I have regarding William Q, though the connection to George Q in Oxford is confirmed

Father John b 4 May 1748 died age 81, spouse not named

Children of the above

John    b 27 apr 1774, d 14 Jun 1838, A 64

Elizabeth b 14 may 1776, d 26 Apr 1812, A 36

William b 9 Apr 1778 - father to George Q of Oxford

Mary b 14 Jun 1782, d 5 Aug 1807, A 25

Thomas b 19 Aug 1784 - father of James Q of London

James b 9 Mar 1786 - d London

Stephen b 26 Dec 1786, d 6 Sep 1856, m 18 Jul 1817 and father to Stephen b 1826

In following up on this in Find my Past I cannot find any truly satisfactory connections to the data above and the records available.

The best connections I can make for the births, are to a John and Elizabeth for the cx of John in 1775 in Dartford.

For the others there are some possible connections to births in Berkshire also to a John and Elizabeth, but the years of the cx are quite different and would only be reasonable if the dates of birth in the source bible are inaccurate by a couple of years -- and that may be, but the date of birth of Stephen Q as 1787 ties in with the 1788 date given in the 1851 census.

I was hoping that I could use this information to better understand the location of Williams birth, or of  his siblings but, not based on my research to date!

So, hope this might connect with information you may have, or if you have any thoughts on other sources of information that might help me clarify the situation that would be great!

Regards

Peter

Hi Suzie,
I was interested in your post as I am a descendant of George Q b1820 and father William b 1778. My information on this relationship an dates comes from a Q family Bible and wondered if that was also in part your source for his birth date an location?

The information I did not have is the birth of William in Oxford and move to London then back to Oxford. I was working on the assumption the W was born in London and married there, before moving to Oxford. Since I could find no record of him in any of the census records his birth county has been a mystery!

Any help in the area would be appreciated and, please forgive any transgressions as this is my first post!

Regards

Peter
